Hello friends!
For my inaugural post, I thought I'd start with a real calorie torching workout available for FREE on youtube, fitnessblender.com, or just click play below.
What you need: Almost 1.5 hrs, music, dumbbells (I used 8 lbs), and a mat if you have a hard floor
What you get: A free, total body, Cardio+Strength+Core workout
Strengths: The moves are not vanilla - they did a good job including HIIT-style moves that are compound. The time went by pretty fast, because there is very little redundancy. They show a preview of each upcoming move and give you some prep time to practice it. It hits all the major muscle groups. Good stretch at the end if you tend to skip the stretch when it isn't included in the video. This girl's body is pretty inspirational...
Weaknesses: There is no music. The bland instructional voiceover and background don't keep you engaged, so playing your own music is a must. You probably need a light AND heavy set of dumbbells - I used a 50 lb plate for dead lifts and weighted squats, but my 8 lb hand weights were okay for all the other moves. Did not burn 1,000 calories (probably somewhere around 600) and isn't the best "burn for your buck" in terms of calories per hour.
Bottom Line: Great, free Total Body Burner for a day when you've got a solid chunk of time to spend on your workout.
Lifting buns and flexing guns,
